This is Africa.

It's 1838.

Courageous and brave men, adventured
into the mysterious Black Continent,

to discover their secrets and treasures.

They didn't care about the
dangers of the forest.

They faced fiercely the unknown.

And left civilization behind,

in order to find the legendary
King Solomon's Mines.

Or the Elephant's Cemetery
that guarded a fortune in ivory.

Some of them went back ill,
weakened and defeated.

Others continued their adventure.

And without noticing it,
they arrived in the Black Forest.

This is the territory
of a dangerous,

fierce and bloodthirsty tribe,
known as "The Plant Men".

Destiny was fulfilled.

Those brave expeditionary,
who looked for glory,

found on the contrary death.

KING OF THE GORILLAS

The only survivor

was at mercy of the jungle.

Only a miracle could save him from death.

In what terrible and strange
world had he arrived?

Where were the dearest
and familiar face

Of his mother?

Who were those hairy and
fierce creatures

that had rescued him from the canoe?

He only could feel fear and mistrust.

He ignored that he owned his
life to those savage animals.

Thanks to these apes he was still alive.

From now he will belong
to the big ape's species.

He will grow up among them.

And his story will be a legend.

Kyra became his protector.

Kyra, was a wild gorilla,
but inside of her,

she had a sweet heart.
She will be his mother.

The little kid will be protected by her.

And the other apes.

His name...

The name that civilized people
give him.

Will be lost forever in this savage world.

From now on, he'll be 'Ape'.
The little White Ape.

And Ape grew up.

Twelve years passed.

That helpless creature
who arrived to this jungle,

is now a member of the big apes clan.

However, human thoughts tortured him.

He had a lot of doubts,
every time

he looked his face,
reflected in the water.

Why was he different?

Why was he skinny and ugly
without any hair on his body?

Why wasn't he beautiful
and hairy like his brothers?

Gosh!
What an ugly nose he had!

It wasn't wide and big
like the other apes had.

And his teeth, they were so tiny.

Beside others, his eyes were so clear.

Horribly blues! Why?
Why he was so different?

Dead warrior's son was very sad.

Poor Notoku!
He had lost his father!

The eldest of the tribe
told him he must been proud.

Because his father had quit
this world like a brave warrior.

Holding his lance and faced
to the powerful

King of the jungle.

But nothing comforted the young cannibal.

He had to revenge.
He had to kill the lion.

He was so young.
But it didn't matter!

He'll show them that
he could be a great warrior!

Notoku decided to go that night.

He told nothing to anyone.
If they knew about his plans,

they won't let him go.

But they will see!

He was not a little kid anymore!

He wasn't weak like a girl!

He was a hunter! The best of all!

He will be back with lion's dead body!

Armed to the teeth,
with the Great Warriors shield,

he stole a canoe and went by the river.

He rowed and rowed,
forgetting the most important lesson:

A warrior must be aware all the time.

Asleep.

He was deeply asleep, dreaming about glory.

He dreamt about the great expectation

on becoming a respected member of his tribe.

And while he was sleeping,
he rose up the river.

And entered the deepest
part of the forest.

There where the big apes lived.

What a surprise!
He had found a creature

who was exactly like him.
But he was uglier than himself.

What fright they took!

Ape ran to the forest.

Notoku, trembling and excited,
took his weapons.

Ready to fight against him.

Notoku wished that the people
of his tribe saw him now!

He was in the forest, ready to hunt.

That strange hairless ape!

Ape observed his rival.

And he didn't have any doubt.

That strange ape didn't have good intentions.

The best thing to do was running away.

Ape suspected that he could be Notoku's supper.

Notoku didn't expect to find
that enormous and fierce gorilla.

So... forgetting his ambitions
of being a great hunter.

He ran away scared, and full of dread.

The whole jungle was mocking him!

Fortunately, no one of his tribe
was watching to him.

Or his prestige as a hunter.

had been down to the drain.

Notoku's awake was not very pleasant.

He was surrounded by all that apes

who had stolen everything...
Even his clothes.

But at that moment, who cared
about those little details?

The most important thing to do now

was to save his skin.
So, he ran.

And ran like a buck.

Unfortunately, in his desperate rush,

Notoku found himself face to face
to his terrible enemy.

The powerful lion.

How he could he face him?

It wasn't a good time,
because he was naked and unarmed.

He would tell the tribe about
his great adventure.

If he would come through with flying colors...

Will he do it?

Ape was so proud and happy.

To have found someone uglier
and clumsier than himself.

Notoku smiled with relief.

At that moment, a friendship was born

between ape's son and the cannibal.

Ape realized quickly that
he had been wrong

with respect to Notoku.

He knew a lot of things.

He used those strange objects to get food.

No... he was not fool at all.

But he was not willing to share it.

If Ape wanted to eat,
he would have to use those weapons.

Ape was very puzzled about the fire.

How Notoku could control
those flames

which he had seen consuming entire jungles?

Those flames were so hot!

How Notoku used that fire?

Without noticed, Ape was reaching

to civilization.

Inside him, in his awareness...

..he heard the shout of his inheritance.

Something was telling him that
being so close

to the fire was part
of his human nature.

Lion's roar shook the jungle,
and Notoku remembered

what his mission in that jungle was.

Before killing the lion,
Notoku and his new friend.

decided to confront the ostriches.

If they hunted four or five,
they would be ready to fight.

They were so concentrated,
that they didn't notice

that the greatest danger
was at their back.

When courage back,
Ape, Notoku and Mongo

Were ready to start the great hunting.

Like great warriors had done,
they painted their faces

in order to frighten the lion.

Then, everything would be simple.

Notoku will run through with his arrow.

And glory will be able to gain.

But they were the surprised ones!

The lion was not afraid
with the warrior's aspect.

And he decided to attack those humans.

That was a big fiasco!

All his tribe will be ashamed of him!

He was not a brave warrior!

Poor Notoku!
He was so demoralized.

And defeated.

He will be the laughingstock
of the village.

And his mother will give him
a striking punishment,

because he went out without permission.

But... suddenly he had a great idea!

One that would turn him into a hero.

He would take Ape to his village!

Convincing Ape to go was very easy.

Then, for second time in his life

the little child went in a canoe.

Towards the unknown.

Very sad, Mongo saw them going away forever.

Ape will come in contact with
a primitif civilization.

Ape looked how Notoku joined his people.

Those humans were so different from his beloved apes.

The village was so happy to see Notoku alive!

They had thought he had died in the jungle!

Andw what a surpise...
he had brought a prey of his adventure!

That white boy who stand in the canoe.

So quiet and serious.

Everybody ran towards Ape.

He thought about his freedom.
He remembered Mongo, Kyra.

And all the apes,
and he wanted to go back to them.

Notoku was in his world
Ape will go back to his own!

He got lost in the jungle.
Forever.

There was no trace of his friend.

He would see him never again.

Hereafter, among warriors and in the Elder Council,

that strange being would become a legend.

'The Legend of the White Ape'.

Years passed. The legend was spread

thru the whole Back Continent,
until the civilized world.

Scientist and expeditionary returned,

looking for to hunt that strange being

that lived in the deepest part of the jungle
among the big apes.

That being that nobody had ever seen.

Who could be the missing link

whom Charles Darwin referred in his theory.

Exhausted.

Their supplies were almost out of stock.

After weeks and weeks traveling through
The Black Continent,

a scientific expedition

finally arrived to that lost village

that was the last contact with the civilized world.

After that point, the virgin jungle began.

It was unexplored and mysterious.

Expeditionary felt defeated.

Eva, scientist's daughter was
waiting next to him.

He used to be the guide
and now he was very sick.

Powerless, Eva saw her father die.

African jungle had a new victim.

Alone in her bedroom.

Eva took his father's journal
and started to read.

"The trip have been so long,
We have avoided so many dangers.

I'm worried about Eva.

l'm frightened that something
could happen to her.

I know she has an indomitable
spirit like her mother.

I've been victim of the Tsetse fly.

His poison is now within my organism.

l'll die soon.
May God helps my dear daughter

and take her back
to England safe and sound."

Scientist's last words

encouraged the girl.

Today we buried my father.

I feel a great sadness.

A deep vacuum.

And also fear,
because l'm still in this

uncivilized and inhospitable
continent.

At the beginning, l wanted to go back.

But now, l think that l must continue

with this work, in order
to reach my father's goals.

Ape was not that helpless
and eerie being anymore.

Those years passed in the jungle

had taught him to defend himself.

And to survive.

The expedition continued his quest.

And without notice it,
they were infringing the laws of the jungle.

That strange presence what
agitated the animal world

was civilization.

It arrived and razed nature's balance.

And it didn't stop for anything or anybody.

Our spirit was keeping up.

We felt that we would
discover very soon

the enigma that intrigued

scientist all over the world.

We will prove that men
descend from ape.

After several days searching,
without finding anything,

tired of waiting any news,
for the first time

I started to doubt.

And I had the thought
that all our efforts.

Had been in vain.

Carriers didn't want to go on.

Fritz, the guide, offered them more money.

Since then, we had a strange feeling.

We felt that someone was watching us

from the distance.

Few days later, we found a trace

that filled me with enthusiasm.

What we thought was
the trace of the missing link

became a nightmare of death and horror.

My awake was terrible.

That horrible beast was
brutally staring at me.

I realized he was The White Ape.

And I discovered he was not
the missing link

but just a human being.

I noticed that he was jealous.
He had a defiant attitude.

And confronted every creature
who tried to reach me.

He felt as my owner.

At that moment, l just wanted
to save my life.

So l ran, trying to run away.

Days passed, and the panic
that I felt at the beginning

transformed into a great curiosity.

What terrible destiny had carried

that poor soul to the forest?

How could he have survived
all those years?

I learned more about human
nature, living with that savage,

than all my years at the University.

White Ape was good and curious.

A savage with a boy's soul.

Every time l thought of the miserable

and lonely life that Ape had lived,

I felt pity for him.

I don't know when I started to feel kindness.

And then...

Love.

Some months later, we had a son.

I never imagined l could live with

such peace and freedom in that jungle.

I felt myself the happiest woman on earth.

Living with my husband and son.

Yes...

My world was complete.

Once again, a scientific expedition had arrived

at this part of the jungle.

In order to capture wild animals.

Attired by the legend, Captain Livingston,

who traveled with his daughter Betty,

wanted as his primary goal
capturing that white being,

that lived in the land of big apes.

Once again, civilized man returned

to The White Ape's domain.

Anxious, l asked my son
where he had found that harmonica.

His answer filled me with happiness.

Civilized men were close to us.

Finally, we'll have the chance
to get out of

that savage world where we had been living in.

But Ape didn't think the same.
He mistrusted them.

I also had doubts about it,
and thought.

that we should hide in
the deepest part of the jungle,

where no one could ever find us.

But I decided to receive them.

I convinced my family to go with me.

I believed that the encounter
would be marvelous.

I thought it would be good for our lives.

I would convince them that
Ape was a human being.

It was a mistake!
A terrible mistake!

All these years, living in peace,

had made me forget the meanness of man.

Suddenly, my fear turned into rage and defiance.

I am a civilized woman,
and I won't allow this hunting!

I decided to talk to them.

Inside his primitive intelligence,

Ape knew to level things,

and making the civilized man feeling

the fear of the possibility
of losing his daughter.

Finally, we established a dialogue.

When I saw Ape with the girl,

I understood what
he wanted to do. A bargain.

If Livingston let us go,
Ape would release the girl.

The civilized man accepted.

Ape had won the battle.

Those events that could finish

in a tragedy, finally joined us.

Those expeditionary stopped being strangers

and possibly enemies...
The love for our children

joined us, and we became friends.

When they established a dialogue,

differences between them appeared.

On one side, there was Ape,
at the other Livingston.

And I was in the middle.

The civilized man posed the question.

I was a woman who grown up
in the civilization.

Will I let my son live like a savage?

Would it not be better
for him to go to England?

He maybe was right.

I told that to Ape.

He won't let our son go.
He mistrusted them.

Finally, after some discussion.
we decided to vote about it.

We did that.
My son and I won.

He was very excited
with the perspective

to know the civilized world.

The discussion was over.

Our son will go
with the expedition group.

WE DEDICATE THIS MOVIE
TO THE FOUNDER OF AFRICAM.

A MAN WHO CONSECRATED
HIS LIVE

TO PROTECT THE ANIMALS
OF ALL THE WORLD.
